Yeah. I don't...remember what happened after that, but we saved Kairi. Her heart returned to her, and after Riku broke free we didn't see him again until we needed help closing the Door to Darkness.
Me too. [there's a slight shake of his head.] It took a really, really long time for all of us to be together again. But it was worth it to go home with them.
[she needs to go back, too. her friends - the ones who have become her precious family - are waiting for her.
she can't remember those specific circumstances, and even now, the memory of what she saw is fading... but she does know, without a doubt, that she needs to go back to kouka.]
Yeah...that's how I feel, too. [he looks up toward the sky instead.] I know we're here to help the Realm and to fix the nova disturbance. But I want to make sure everybody gets home and back to the people who would miss them. That's not bad, is it?
Yeah. [...hm.] A lot of people would probably do anything to accomplish that, too. Including killing the others. But I still wish they'd just talk to us.
Yeah. I wish I knew how that happened, but you're right. Wishing isn't going to change anything.
You mean with Emet-Selch? Yeah. That was a good start. [...he sighs though.] I know that was the work of a person, at least. I want to try to find them and talk to them...I think we could work together on some things. But I have no idea where to start.
Hansa seemed to know something - apparently, he was told that it would be okay before he went up there, but he didn't know the details of what would happen.
...at least, that's what he told me, anyway. It could just be that he didn't know me well enough to say more.
Maybe he can't. If someone did you the favor of saving the life of someone you cared about, but asked you not to tell anyone, would you repay them by just telling anyone who asked who did it? Or would you keep their secret like they wanted?
I know the answer you're looking for is yes, but I think the rules of this place are a lot different than what we'd expect. [...but she has a point.] I think it would depend why they wanted to keep it a secret.
They probably have good reasons to. I want to know, but... Yoshizawa's killer is still out there, and there's still a lot about what happened to her that doesn't sit right with me.
I can't really blame whoever it is for wanting to keep it a secret. It seems like the sort of thing that could put a target on someone, with a killer like that running around.
Yeah. Whatever their reasons are I'm sure they're good ones. What we need to focus on is finding her killer just to question them. I want to know more about this splintering thing, and what the Leaders are asking people. That's the big thing we're missing.
Me too. But...the longer we're here, it's almost guaranteed isn't it? [he hates to say it. truly.] We can still focus on trying to make it as few as possible. That should be our goal now if this keeps happening.
I know people will die as more time goes on... I just hope it's not information that they're dying for.
I'd rather find someone who already killed and get answers from them, than have to wait for someone else to kill so we can try to catch them and ask questions because we can't figure out who did it already.
Well we have a lot of murderers still out there. One of us is bound to know at least one we can talk to. We just have to let them know it's only to help, not to hurt them or be angry with them.
[some are definitely going to be easier to not want to hurt or not be angry with than others, that's for sure. but... ultimately, more than any personal grudge, the really important thing is trying to find a way to get out of this.
yona can acknowledge that much, at least, even if she still kind of wants to shoot sumi's killer.]
